> I can't help but think the posters have a chip on their shoulder from being rejected by Google

I think so too, look at this angry (it says "fucking" 3 times) comment over at Reddit:

> It’s a waste of fucking time. I’m a really talented programmer [...] I’ve been eliminated based solely on messing up some dumbass arbitrary puzzle.

https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/kcwqij/every_s...

And the only reply that to me somewhat seems to understand what's going on, getting lots of downvotes, so it got collapsed and you cannot easily find it:

> They just play a numbers game, and are able to discard perfectly capable candidates with this kind of questions, and still get a bunch of great candidates

https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/kcwqij/every_s...

(although it started in a bit weird way with "Lmao", however the other replies weren't any more polite were they?)
